Hi, I'm writting a political science paper trying to separate legal combatants, unlawful combatants, and terrorist (I understand sometimes the later two mix), and I have found some usefull stuff on Wiki, however I was wondering if anyone has handy or remembers the actual pam taught definitions? I swear I still had the notes somewere from BIQ but cannot find them anywere.
Basically all I need to know is the grey area between a uniformed enemy solider representing the state, a uni fromed enemy rebel, and a un-uniformed rebel still part of a group (like the taliban).  Obviously the state representatives are soldiers, and groups like Alqueda are terrorist, but were do you draw the lines?
This is a short paper, so don't go out of your way, but any response would be appreciated.
Cheers,
-Adrian
 
Check the "Law of Armed Conflict" manual:

http://www.forces.gc.ca/jag/training/publications/law_of_armed_conflict/loac_2004_e.pdf

Chapter 3 should probably answer your questions.

SS Max,

With all due respect Sir, Google is not always "your friend". 1,160,000 for "geneva convention".

Cheers,

Walt
